Located inside the Roam Inn, we were treated to a chill covers playlist, good drinks, and good food. Our server was on it - she was juggling several tables but she made it look effortless. The meatball is not spicy - just a perfect blend and flavor. The pierogis were also so good. I opted for the burger and truffle fries - the burger was perfect, but SO MANY FRIES. She opted for the white fish, which she enjoyed (I didn't even get a bite!) All in all - it's a great stop if you're wanting to be in a nice dining environment for your evening.

The bad: the service at the bar was unfortunately the slowest we've seen in the surrounding area. There were 2 bartenders but only one was making drinks and the bar was full. The other lady was arranging bottles and would wash a glass or two and wander about. Everyone was waiting for drinks. When we were seated no one came to check on us after we received our food and we had to go and get our own drinks and also wave down the waitress for a bill and takeout containers. They certainly need more staff and better training.

They have a nice wine list and we were able to find a good selection off of that. This time around I was able to get Veal Piccata. I am a bit of a veal snob and this was amazing! The veal was tender, perfectly prepared, and delicious. The pasta was also fresh and tasty. My wife got the spaghetti and meatballs again and very thoroughly enjoyed it. I even got to snag a few bites and it was delicious.

The manager inquired about our meals and we were very honest with him. His response was " let me see what I can do" and he never returned to our table. When we left and walked by the server area, he turned his back to us and walked into another room without doing anything about our terrible meals. The waitress did nothing when we told her about our meals. I'd be ashamed if I were the manager at this horrible restaurant!

As luck would have it, I chatted with a new local friend a few days before and 'got the lowdown' on Mama Mia's. Her words and advice were spot on! She gushed over the bread - so good! - and mentioned how she and her mom often shared plates because the serving sizes are so generous. She also said that they used to make their own spumoni and, admittedly, I hoped that was still true (I didn't confirm one way or another). There was a 20 minute wait. Our hostess was running a tight ship and we were confident in her forecast, so we chatted and looked over the carryout menu, planning our meals. It was pointless, of course, because it was still hard to decide! Our server Missy took great care of us, from fetching a craft beer menu to boxing up our leftovers. The restaurant was busy yet we never felt a moment of neglect. The hustle is STRONG here, with servers weaving intricately between the tables with food and beverages. It was a bit like dinner and a show! I had the tortellini Parmesan dinner, which started with one of the best bowls of minestrone that I can recall. The vegetables were on point, firm with no mush. The dinner salad had a lot of lettuce but also a nice collection of 'stuff' including cheese, meat and olives. I loved the tortellini; straightforward and not smothered, it let the pasta shine. Smokin'Hubster had the stuffed shells a la carte and added some meatballs. Everything was well-presented and prepared, super tasty and, well, it tasted like it was made with love. Nonna would approve! Because I had the dinner, I had my choice of ice cream. While I had hoped for the spumoni, the option I chose was amaretto Mackinac Island and it was divine. If they didn't make it on prem, they have an amazing partnership. I can't recall the last time I had ice cream after dinner and I certainly don't ever think that I've remembered it so fondly a week later. Trust me, it's THAT GOOD! In the best Italian tradition, the leftovers were even better the next day. The value cannot be overstated. We were fat, dumb and happy twice with this dinner. Crazy as it sounds, Smokin'Hubster was already planning a carryout order because he wants to try some other dishes (as do I)!! Start to finish, it was the best date night! Lots of street parking and easy to find in the burgeoning metropolis of Ishpeming. Get yourself here and enjoy la dolce vita!
